dress it up or dress it down: blazers

11.3.13

happy monday!

i know i've been a little m.i.a lately and kinda skipped out on posting last week but i'm back and killing two birds with one stone today! not only are we talking about how to dress up or dress down blazers today, but one of these outfits was actually one of the six outfits chose by you to have me re-post outfit details for!

so let's talk a little bit about blazers. personally, i love them and own them in every color, but i used to think i always had to wear them with dressier type things and of course wore them to work all the time, so i rarely dressed them down. then boyfriend blazers came about and all of a sudden they were much less fitted, less "professional" and much more versatile! so with me being the blazer lover that i am, this was exciting news. so how can you wear a blazer go from

day <---------------------------- to ---------------------------> night

dressing a boyfriend blazer down really isn't all that difficult. it's usually already a looser fit and creates a more slouched look. i feel like it is all about the accessories you use when creating a more comfortable look! a beanie and my big prescription glasses went a long way to make this look relaxed, along with the sneaker wedges and big hobo bag, it definitely looks more "out and about" and slightly less "headed to work". this is my favorite way to wear a blazer and i may have to pair a beanie with it every time now!

now, most people know how to make a blazer look more "put together". add a nice blouse, some heels and a clutch and you could be headed to work or out for a girls' night! i even went a step further with the liquid leggings and thought it looked not only put together, but even a little edgy (which i apparently like to do from time to time). i was actually really excited after i put this one together and want to wear it out asap! now, i just have to find somewhere fancy to go.... :)
